| Title | THE EFFECT OF EXPORT DIVERSIFICATION ON COUNTRY GROWTH |
| Summary | Export diversification is considered a tool for developing countries to have sustainable earnings from exports which leads to income growth. The purpose of this thesis is to test the existence of the effect of export diversification on countries’ economic growth using the system GMM estimator of dynamic panel model across countries. For the research I use a sample of 88 countries in the period 1962-2009, calculating the Herfindahl index of export concentration from two different datasets to get the data for the whole period and adding it into the equation of augmented Solow growth model estimation. The main finding of the paper provides evidence on the positive impact of export diversification on countries’ income per capita growth, with the stronger effect on developing countries. |
